Description
Want to know more about female-centric training but don’t know where to start? Start here.
The Female Body Course covers everything you’ve ever wondered, feared or been too embarrassed to ask. All evidence-based, this is knowledge you can bank and practical actions you can use now.
Women’s sport and health have never been this high up the agenda. Unfortunately, the science underpinning most female best-practice is limited. And limiting.
Best-practice for active women is based on generations of research on men. Skewed messages set active women off-course from school-age on. We’re here to get us on track.
This course starts you on the journey to greater understanding in female health and reversing generations of half-truths and biases. No guesswork, no egos, no taboos.
This course helps all those working with women to better understand the female mind and body. We discuss myths, challenges and gaps in understanding. This is ground zero for raising awareness, slashing taboos and getting an edge in participation and performance.

Course Modules
1. Women in Sport
The opening module sets the ‘why’ of the whole course. It highlights gender gaps in data, opportunity and performance. It focuses on the importance of the female body and shows how dismissing the female experience can limit her performance and underserve her potential.
2. Menstrual Cycle and Performance
In this comprehensive guide to the menstrual cycle we explain how it regulates, affects and impacts active women. This hugely practical module develops coaches’ understanding so you can start conversations and integrate effective new strategies – such as cycle tracking – into your work.
3. Kit for female bodies
This module highlights how kit, which should enable enjoyment, participation and performance, can be a massive barrier to all of the above. Poor kit choices can cause shame, pain, and disillusionment among active women. So let us guide you through kit, and the gamechanger that is the sports bra.
4. Nutrition for Active Women
Good fuel is essential and this module offers nutrition advice tailored to active females’ physiology. Here we guide coaches through the complex ways women relate to food and their bodies, with actionable ways you, the coach, can promote positivity and body-confidence.
5. Injury Risk and Resilience
This module explores female-specific injury risks with successful practical prevention strategies you can embrace. We cover the need to design new sporting environments to further reduce risk and that, without action, one of women’s most precious assets – the brain – is especially vulnerable.
6. Pelvic Health in Active Women
An underappreciated body nucleus, this module offers vital and liberating information about women’s bladders, bowels and pelvic floors. This is how to coach women to engage their pelvic floors and recognise risks. And how you can incorporate pelvic exercise effectively in your work.
7. Environment for Active Women
Using all information, ideas and reflection from previous modules, number 7 brings it all together. This is everything: culture and kit, mind and body, menstrual cycles, injury and pelvic floors. This is confidence to effectively support female athletes and Act Braver in all future conversations.

Great course so far. I thought I knew a lot about this subject already. But the way you teach this, and with new research, I am learning a lot more. Thank you.

It was really brilliant, the content and the delivery were excellent. I’ve just bought the menopause one to do next. Keep doing what you are doing ladies, it’s so important we educate people that female athletes are very different from males.

Super informative and really enjoyed it. Enjoyed the mixture of practical as well as spoken videos. The only feedback I have is it would be great if there was a setting on the videos where the watcher can set the playback speed, just as some people find it easier to pay attention to videos that are faster-paced.
